Hi all!

New here, new to comput music, new to SL. Thank you all for help first. :D

I would like then to use SL with my usb keyboard.
I don't understand actually why there are so many keys I cannot use for binding. (105 keys keyboard)
For example numbers, arrows, etc.

Do you have any idea?


Thank you a lot again! :D

Hi,
what keyboard do you use? SL reacts to MIDI. It might be, that the numbers and arrows don't send MIDI, but send internal commands to the keyboard itself.

Hi!

Thank you for your answer.

I use a rly standard USB AZERTY keyboard. (Same problem on the laptop keyboard actually).

Do you know how to use all the keys?
Thanks again

Hi,
ah, I thought you meant a real keyboard (like a piano), not the keyboard of a pc. So everything I wrote about MIDI is not relevant in this case.
I tried to set the arrow keys and it worked for me (QWERTZ keyboard on Macbook). Every key should be possible to set in Preferences => Key Bindings. Maybe it doesn't work with the layout of your keyboard (normal standard is as far as I know qwerty). If you switch the layout to english, maybe it works?
Anyway jesse has to take a look on this I guess...

Thank you for answering.

I'll try this evening to switch to QWERTY. Interesting. Maybe it'll work.
